¹² For, even as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the one body, being many, are one body, so also `is' the Christ,

²⁴ I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and do fill up the things lacking of the tribulations of the Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the assembly,

¹⁸ And himself is the head of the body -- the assembly -- who is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might become in all `things' -- himself -- first,

¹⁵ and let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye were called in one body, and become thankful.

²⁷ and ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

¹⁵ Have ye not known that your bodies are members of Christ? having taken, then, the members of the Christ, shall I make `them' members of an harlot? let it be not!

¹⁶ from whom the whole body, being fitly joined together and united, through the supply of every joint, according to the working in the measure of each single part, the increase of the body doth make for the building up of itself in love.

⁴ one body and one Spirit, according as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;

⁴ for as in one body we have many members, and all the members have not the same office,

⁵ so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another.

⁶ And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy -- `According to the proportion of faith!'

²⁹ for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord -- the assembly,

³⁰ because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones;

³¹ `for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh;'
